"One of the finest examples of bringing the essence of arcade gaming to modern consoles and a game no adrenaline junkie should pass up."

I'm having a hard time getting my head around The Club. Not because I haven't enjoyed the demo, far from it: I've had a blast. No, I've had a hard time getting my head around it because The Club takes everything you think you know about shooter games, puts them in a box and seals it shut. Then shoots it up. Then sets it on fire.

"One of the problems with arcade-style games is that, on paper, they never amount to much. Take OutRun and Gran Turismo, for example: how can a handful of Ferraris and one forked racetrack compare to garages full of vehicles and a multitude of courses and parts? Likewise, The Club is a self-consciously arcade-style interpretation of the genre. So, on paper, it hardly compares to the Hollywood narratives and emergent AI to be found in the likes of Halo 3 or Half-Life 2."

Created by Bizarre Creations—the makers of Project Gotham Racing—The Club is a radical change of pace for the developer. Third person shooters and Gears clones may be commonplace for other developers, but for Bizarre it’s something wholly unexpected – though insiders tell me that was part of the point.
